vibration alerts

Silent tactile signals

Vibration alerts are notifications delivered through physical vibration rather than sound.

Phones, watches, and other devices use them to signal calls, messages, or alarms discreetly: I keep my phone on vibration alerts during meetings.

The feature allows awareness without audible interruption.
